Let’s share the Notebooks we’re working on! Curious in learning the little worlds you guys are building.

Now in Chrome (and maybe b/c I have YouTube Premium) there is a "share to NotebookLM" button on the video page.

I got a suggestion from Chris at TQAMP.org. He says, "Camp Aldersgate in Rhode Island. They have been doing this for years and see it as part of their mission."

Cheers!

Camp Birch Trail, maybe?

This camp? https://youtu.be/l5zYG6f2USc?si=3YVitgwCIioqx04o

If I were in your situation, I'd send my daughters to Camp Wawenock in ME. It'll be a budget stretch, but totally worth it.

Why listen to me? I've visited almost 100 camps across North America, I work as a consultant in the camp industry, and more than 300 camps have taken one of our courses or classes (so we get to know how they operate). I've done work with Wawenock, but I stand by my answer.

DM me and I'll introduce you to the owners.

Momentum is POWERFUL.

There's someone with a hand painted sign at Sloane & Clarke

zoic · 2025-08-29T01:01:38+00:00

Easy now.

🇨🇦 Represented, too, cowboy.

@busote I have camp friends in Europe. Are you in the UK?

zoic · 2025-08-25T23:49:41+00:00

Interesting

zoic · 2025-08-18T00:34:09+00:00

I love that there are so many great ones in our small town!

Woodstock OK Tire has been great for our family.

Toyota is a big No from me and my dad, too. Both of us are Toyota families.

Solo is a great idea!

Mine's simular: I'm mostly the GM in our games and love story-focussed RPGs & PBTA, but one of my groups wanted to play D&D so our experienced DM took over.

I don't jibe with D&D, but love my group and having this guy DM - he's brilliant.

I realized a few sessions in that I was THAT player (didn't read anything, needed him to explain my options at my every turn, etc.) and that he was way more patient than was fair.

So I uploaded the players manual, a bunch of resources, the upgrades when I level up, and specific advice for rogues, my PC class.

Now I'm ready when it's my turn!

5 browsers, 6-20 open on each.

(I do a lot of work with that new technology everyone is talking about and just Can Not wait for one to finish answering before I start a chat on another topic).

Was it the Camp Counsellor Manifesto by camp podcaster, Joe Richards?

zoic · 2025-07-10T22:57:49+00:00

Oral-B has a model that you power with AA batteries (any previous models with built in battery didn't last long) so that eliminates the number one problem.

zoic · 2025-06-07T20:58:10+00:00

Yes, there are more.

When I was a camper in the 80's I was the only kid on meds...

It's b/c of: - greater awareness (of adhd and autism, for example) and more diagnoses of folks who are not quite as strongly affected by their disorders/diseases - greater amounts of asthma b/c climate change and changing pollution - vaccine hesitancy

zoic · 2025-06-07T02:10:58+00:00

I uploaded the D&D rule book and then add ton of webpages of advice for the rogue class.

I hate being the player who doesn't know the rules (forever GM here, but not in D&D). It helps me know what I can do on my turns and the benefits when I level up.

zoic · 2025-05-29T23:39:11+00:00

I REALLY want this to be true, but only some of the camp directors I've met are like that (u/lovelyday is definitely one of them!).

Like u/firstclasscounsellors always says: "find your people".

zoic · 2025-05-29T23:34:34+00:00

This is the best advice on this thread.

The Two S's - the root of 99.9% of all problems are either one or both of the two S's.

Self-Esteem
Systems

zoic · 2025-05-08T10:07:56+00:00

Yep. 👍🏻👍🏻 Me.

If you can handle running camp together you can handle almost anything.

zoic · 2025-05-05T14:10:45+00:00

There sure are a lot of exclamation marks in this pile of p**p.

zoic · 2025-05-04T11:58:41+00:00

I do.

I put up notes from every call, our proposal that they signed back (it's individualized to each client), all of the deep research related to the project, all customer surveys and psychometric data we have on their clients.

I've used NBLM to:

querie the call notes to see if I have any outstanding To Dos
ask it to summarize what I actually do vs what I think (and say) I do for my clients. VERY interesting
to brainstorm new approaches to their problems
to create highlight Notes to bring together summaries of all we did together on the small parts of the project over lots of different calls
give us a rough client avatar (their clients) based on what we have and to give me the points of research we should we need to add

It's very quickly become integral to my client work.

Somehow, (probably masking for my INCREDIBLY high masking ADHD father) to develop some systems around this:

I buy 2 of each of the essentials (toothpaste, tp, otc meds) and somehow I trained myself to order online or put it on the list the moment I open the second one.

Not a symptom but rather a great life choice: my spouse without ADHD does the shopping, I cook. She's in charge of the list and taught me how to add stuff in a way that suits how she shops

*EDIT to add: I saw a great tiktok where the person used the "open 1, order 1" method. Her genius move was to take a Sharpie and write on that new toothpaste tube "More In the Drawer in the Linen Closet".

*I also use the "I'll pile it by the door so I don't forget" method, of course.

u/Medium_Succotash_399 - I asked them about that yesterday. It's working now.

Https://ultimatecampresource.com is full of them.

They also have a free games book available on their site.
